Chapter 4- Never Changed

Chapter 4- Never Changed

"Taylor, please, give me another chance. I will prove to you that my heart never changed!" Harry pleaded while giving her the ultimate smile that Taylor could never resist.

But Taylor wasn't the old Taylor anymore. She changed. She has grown to the kind of careful person who guards herself 24/7.

"No, Harry. You've changed. I've changed. WE've changed. And changing means moving on. I've been trying to move on and I think you should too. I've never really got to say goodbye to our past relationship so I'm gonna say it now. Goodbye, Harry. Let me go. Let US go. We can't stop forcing each other to understand that we still like each other. What we're feeling right now is just the unwillingness to let go. Goodbye." Taylor tried smiling and she walked away.

But she knew it all too well that it wasn't just "the unwillingness to let go". It was love. She still loves Harry. She just needed an excuse to forget about everything and willingly walk away from the chance she could've taken.

She walked away to the opposite side of him so that he wouldn't be able to see where she went.

And there was it. She folded her hands into fists, fighting in her tears.

No, Taylor. Stop being so stupid. It's been three years and I should get over this. Move on, Taylor, move on.

She was focusing on fighting her tears so much that she didn't realize she bumped into a hard chest.

She gained consciousness and reacting, she quickly bowed down and apologized, "I'm so sorry," she said looking up, "I didn't see you there..."

Then she saw Zayn, looking down at her in concern.

Her legs were weak so she fell a little backwards but luckily, Zayn grab hold of her.

She sobbed and wiped her 'almost fallen tears' off her eyes.

"Thanks." She thanked, sounding almost vulnerable.

He cleared his throat, trying to fight the urge of asking her why she's crying but failed due to his curiosity.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Taylor took a deep breath and replied, "I'm fine."

He offered her a hand on reaching the park bench not far from them and they settled down.

"You know, the more you try not to cry, the more pain you'll feel..." Zayn exclaimed, trying to let her cry it all out.

"It's better than letting the people you care about see you cry." Taylor let out a little bitter laugh.

People you care about? He smiled from the thought that she cared about him.

"Well you just know me so I think it's best if you take advantage of this right now." Zayn smiled.

"W-what do you mean?" Taylor asked shaking her head at him.

"Well, since you still haven't start caring about me, you better cry now or you won't get a chance." Zayn looked at her with a smile.

Then that was it. Taylor cried. Just like that. She cried.

It wasn't a normal 'a tear fell down my face' kinda thing. It was a 'I'm a new born baby' kinda thing.

She literally cried like a baby.

She kicked anything near her that wouldn't be able to hurt her back, yes, including Zayn. Hit the street lamp right next to the park bench, punched Zayn's chest several times and grabbed his shirt like a teddy bear.

That's not gonna come off easily. Zayn thought looking down at his perfect suit which was ruined by tears.

Taylor laid on the ground, finally had enough of the drama.

Good thing no one is here. She sighed a breath of relief.

Except for Zayn of course.

She then sat up straight and looked at Zayn.

"Promise you won't tell anyone about this." She said in a stern voice.

He let out a small laugh. "Okay, I promise."

"Give me your finger." She said reaching for his pinky with hers.

He rolled his eyes and gave her his finger.

She doesn't seem as tough and mature as I thought she was. He thought.

"You're not as mature and creepy as I thought you would be." Taylor joked as she wiped off the rest of the tears away.

"You too, minus the creepy." Zayn replied and they laughed.

"Thanks for that, let's go back, our parents would be worried sick!" Taylor said as she stood up.

"Don't worry, they went home." Zayn replied calmly and Taylor freaked out.

"What? H-how?!"

"Don't worry, I texted my parents to tell your parents that you and I needed more time so they went home. Have you even looked at the time at all?" Zayn asked showing her his watch.

She grabbed his wrist and read the watch.

12.03 am.

"Shit." She murmured.

"What?" Zayn asked, a little shocked that the sweet looking girl just cursed.

"It is way past my curfew I gotta go home... Oh my god, TAXI!" She screamed towards nowhere and Zayn couldn't help but laugh at the awkward situation.

"Lemme drive you home." Zayn exclaimed as he beckoned her to go the other way.

"How can you drive me home when your car's with your parents?"

"We came here separately. Now come on!" Zayn smiled and walked towards his car at the end of the side walk while Taylor followed, fixing her dress a little.

Zayn opened up the car door of the shotgun seat and let her in. Taylor smiled in return as a 'thank you' to him and got into the car.

She looked around the car a little, trying to get use to the unfamiliar smell of the car which seemed brand new.

Zayn then soon got in the driver's seat and started up the engine of the car.

The car ride was quite silent. Taylor was too busy thinking of excuses to let her mum not consider Zayn to be her 'boyfriend' and Zayn was too busy trying to come up with a chapter to talk about with Taylor when he didn't realize.

A human figure appeared in front of the car and Taylor screamed, "Zayn, LOOK OUT!"
